Yes, D:\ is the recovery partition, but i don't need that at all, it's empty all the time....

C:\ 446 gb
D:\ 19gb

How i can add that 19 gb space to my C:\ drive or is it even possible?? So it will come as 465 gb??

As Noyb says it is not empty and you might need it later. But if you insist, go into Disk Management, delete D to get unallocated space and extend C with the unallocated space. It's not going to make you much richer and you will regret it the day you have to reinstall the system.

I would strongly recommend to leave the D: partition as is. If you insist on deleting it to add it to the C: drive, then be sure to use the link from HP below to create a set of HP Recovery discs first to be able to do a factory restore of Windows 7 with. Otherwise you will have no way to reinstall the Windows 7 that came with your HP computer.

i guess i dont know how to do math, if my main C parition with vista has 465.76 and i want to shrink it down to 80GB and leaving me with a data partition of 385.76GB, what value do i enter in the section "enter the amount of space to shrink in MB" window of the disk management

Ran up against the "fixed files" limit on shrinking the volume - could only claim 225GB...
